Religion & Spirituality - 3 October 2006

all of the monotheistic religions are pretty much the same - the insignificant details are the only differences. For religions that preach peace and love, why are we trying to spread them through hate?

...we really place no expectations on ourselves, do we? If we can blend in and become part of the crowd, we can hate as much as the next person. I do it all the time, here - I can really "get hatin'" on someone who I deem stupid or whatever, I really don't think anything about ripping them a new one.

We all pledge allegiance to what we believe in or what we don't believe in, and it's all fun and games as long as we curry favor with all the people we want to agree with us. None of this discussion really has to lead anywhere - it's just about polishing the apples of those we esteem, and the hell with everyone else, right? We can say that we respect each other, as long as we don't actually have to show it...

I love Jesus so much,,but me being human steps in the way at times..I pushed when I shouldn't push..I want to walk like Jesus so much,I wanted people to see him but instead I was not showing them the Love that Jesus shows me and I truly am so sorry for that..I really wanted you all to see Jesus and I failed to show you that. I showed you myself.. I'm sorry..Jesus does love you all so much..don't look at me when searching for Jesus..

The two outlooks don't seem compatible to me. I have been Christian and Buddhist. Could someone explain?

I dreamt I was sitting with him and his diciples, before he went up to heaven, after being risen from the dead.
He made a prediction about the future (I wont say what it was), and when I replied: "I'd like to see that happen", Jesus turned to me, said my name, and said: "Surely, after spending time with me, you should know that you dont need to see something, to know it's true." (Maybe he was implying God, I dont know) He wasnt mean about it either, he said it with a kind smile on his face.
Then he went up to heaven in a bright display of light. At this time my dream ended.
I'm not Christian, why would I dream of Jesus?
Apart from the Christians saying, choose our religion, any other ideas?

People all the time are saying, "Freedom of Religion, not freedom FROM Religion". So, what does this mean? That we don't have a right to choose not to have a religion? Are they proposing that we throw into prison those who don't have a religion?

Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of this smarta$$ answer that religious people are always giving?

It doesn't tell us "who" or "why" only part of the "where" and "what".
And those parts do not seem to conflict with biblical theology.
Physicists call this "looking at the origins of the universe" and thought I wouldn't discredit their work, it is only a fraction of the whole picture.

I am not trying to be mean but it looks as if they see thierselves as a God or something all powerful. Would it be safe to say it is a form of religion to focus on yourself,,you worship yourself..Just random thoughts going through my head..Put in your thoughts..

After a couple of days of being "lost", I would have said," forget you dude, you are one lost puppy", and I would have dropped him like a bag o' hot nickles.

I feel if people look towards others to learn who Jesus is,you tend to see many people who do not follow the way of Jesus or they make common mistakes,some people are ready to judge quickly at the person..To serve Jesus should we work out our own salvation and allow the others who tend to be careless about thierselves to be judge by God and not us? I notice man looks at the person and not on Jesus..We are human and we all will make many,many mistakes,but take note that true Christains seek out forgiveness for hurting others..

I went to church with my mom since I was born, got 'saved', and for about seventeen years I was bored to tears. I was sick to death of the carpeted stages, the fake plants, the hallelujahs, the gospel band, and pretty sure at that point that God must be equally boring, but if I didn’t want to go to hell, I should continue being bored anyway.

Then, after going to a horrific christian school where they taught things like ‘loud drumbeats summon demons’, I started reading the bible for myself simply because I didn’t believe a word any Christian said to me anymore, and shockingly, I found out that I loved what I read. I went through hell and back during this time, and one day it was as if God just suddenly showed me who he was, and I was stunned, and fell completely in love. He became my life and the center of my world. I think I was mostly stunned by the fact that it was really Jesus after all...since Christian culture appealed to me so little, I couldn’t believe that God was actually so astonishingly entrancing. I was even a little bit dissapointed that in order to follow him I’d have to be associated with people who sold ‘prayer cloths’ on television and sweat profusely.

I continue to go to various churches because my mother insists that in order to be a ‘good’ christian I must, but despite the fact that I love God more than life itself, I am STILL bored to tears. Nothing about church appeals to me at all. I don’t even get to talk to other Christians. I just have to endure the awful music, the blah scenery and the long speeches, and then leave. I love to discuss my beliefs, and bible studies are often ideal, but church itself is perfectly wretched to me. Even the subculture that is associated with it...the conferences, the tv shows, the disliking of Harry Potter, is all massively disgusting to me. Nothing about the modern day church reminds me of God. Nothing is beautiful, or awe-inspiring, or mysterious.

So, what’s the deal? Do any other Christians have this problem? I love spending time with other Christians, but church is just beyond me. I’ve tried participating in any way you can imagine. So why do I love God and I’m unable to like church?

on a regular basis by her husband, that god would consider her a sinner if she dared to divorce him. The she should have "chosen better" before marrying. He did say that she could seperate from him, but never divorce or have relations with another man for the rest of her life, how nice of him to allow that (sarcasm). Just wondering what other christians think about this mans viewpoint.

I am not trying to be rude, I am simply trying to see how many christians really think like this?
